I can certainly agree with that, and I can even agree that several of these feats are broken as written.

If I was told that I wouldn't be able to intimidate someone, for completely reasonable reasons (Me being a 3rd level bard or something like that, and this being a 10th level bada**) I wouldn't be bothered one bit. Guess I am just special, if this sort of behavior is outlandish, but it seems like...

Corwin is pointing out that there shouldn't be a check. You are assuming the player has made a check, which is only supposed to happen if the DM says "OK make an intimidation check". If the DM says there is no check, how can the player get mad about a "Successful check" if there was never one in...

I can see how they might be considered broken, but I also have a firm belief in the DMs right to just say No. It might seem like arbitrarily shutting players down, but sometimes something really is impossible. I would tell a Player no to climbing a wall made of unbreakable glass, unless they got...

Sorry for having jumped in, you were debating with someone else. I just saw your response to them and wanted to point out the meaning so you could debate on equal terms. :) As far as the "I win" button, I can agree with there being huge issues with that. That said, there is a good reason this...

Why isn't there a "Dis/approve of this pun" button yet? I approve btw.

I don't think you understand what "Plug and Play" Means. If something is Plug and Play, it can be dropped into your game without causing any issues, plugged in and played without any tweaking. A Longsword is Plug-and-Play. Maybe a low level spell scroll too. Feats, since they inherently change...

Yes, but my argument is from a common sense point of view. Why are the Rogue and Bard the only ones capable of this mythical third tier of training called "Expert". Wizard spends a lot of time studying, why can't he be an Expert Historian? Fighter and Barbarian can be pretty tough guys, why...

I was imagining something like 1-200 foot tall trees, and the flooding was described as being halfway up to the canopy (Or halfway down depending on your life view). That gives the ships 50-100 feet of water below them, which is plenty of space from the few things I can remember at the moment...

I can agree with your other reasons, but find it ridiculous that Bard and Rogue are the only ones capable of this. An Arcane Trickster with the right background can be a better Arcana skill monkey than the Wizard. A Bard with expertise in Athletics can smash the Barbarian in a wrestling...

As cbwjm said, only the two bonus disciplines are restricted by your order, the rest can come from any source. Allows for a lot of flexibility of builds.

Aye, I think it is important for a Fantastical Naval Supplement to have actual rules for things like a battle between a flying Ship v. Giant dragon v. sea-born ship. There are other places where one might get more mundane "Normal" rules, like the Nautical adventures PDF mentioned in the other...

That would be roughly equal to the -Prof/+prof a few have suggested.

Page 38 of the DMG has exactly this.

It deals bonus fire damage, and acts as an automatic crit based on how often that single attack ends the fight. I might even make it a 1/long rest instant kill.

Thanks, it's nice to know the work of swapping cleric over to Warlock style has been done before, though I will still be doing this one to get it the way I prefer. Quite a few nice invocations as well, though I plan on having a much larger spread. I will probably have a lot of Domain locked...

But that is all covered by proficiency. A wizard swinging a sword and getting a lucky hit could be as deadly as a fighter, who is much more likely to hit. It doesn't make sense, to me, that a sword automatically becomes mathematically less deadly when a different person holds it. Same sword...

I see this recommendation come up a lot, and cannot wrap my head around it at all. "I am a wizard, so this sword is physically less capable in my hands." How does that make even a little sense? They already have proficiency and Class-relevant scores, so what else do you need to show that...

I have been staring at an open word document for the past half-hour or so, and cannot think of a single thing to do with these Gifts. I think I am thinking about it too hard, so instead I am just going to wing it here, and write down ideas as they come up. If you think something is too...

I started thinking on some Cleric changes to apply to my world, ways to make them more interesting as a class. I am leaning heavily towards more Warlock-like changes, since I think Warlock and Cleric are two sides of the same coin. To that end, here are some of my changes Going to happen...
